Americana for the modern age?

I’ve lived in a small town for most of my life. It is quaint. Some of the streets are cobbled and there are remnants of 16th
century America in abundance. Yes,
as cliché as it may sound, George Washington really did sleep here, and often
since he grew up not a mile from the city.

Antique shops, restaurants and specialty stores, have
replaced most of the stores on Main Street from my youthful years but one old
time drug store still remains. You
can still get a shake, a cherry coke, a BLT, and sit at a counter with twirling
stools to consume it all.

There are still some aged and weathered signs hanging
on the walls. One particular sign
caught my eye and gave me a chuckle. It seems things haven’t changed much at
all.
